In this article. provided two types of examples for C massecuite dropping purity calculation. One is for grain and massecuite prepared in batch pan and other one is grain prepared in batch pan and massecuite prepared in continuous vacuum pan(CVP). Also provided Online calculation sheet for the same.

C massecuite final purity calculation |Grain Quantity requirement for C CVP

Example No.1 :

Grain prepared in 60T batch pan after that 50% material cut to vacuum crystalizer then further filled and dropped as a C m/c.

Calculate C massecuite dropping purity : We assume C grain prepared with A Heavy + B Heavy + C Light molasses in 60T batch pan,  After it was cut 50% to vacuum crystallizer then further feed only BH molasses upto dropping of massecuite.

Step 1 :

First fixed the required footing material purity for grain ( Before adding the slurry). We assume the grain purity is 64.

Here using AH + CL using as graining material ( Consider AH purity – 70 with 75 brix and CL purity 62 with 75 brix)

Pan Capacity = 60MT.

Graining Volume of given batch pan = 45%.

Pan working volume = 60/1.42 = 42M3 = 420HL.

Graining Volume of batch pan = 42 x 45 %= 19M3 = 190HL.

Weight of the graining material  = Volume x specific gravity = 19 x 1.42 = 27MT.

Solids in graining material = 27 x 87 /100 = 23.5MT. (Consider grain brix – 87%)

CL

Solids from AH for C grain = (2 /10) x 23.5 = 4.70MT.

Solids from CL for grain material = 23.31 – 4.70 = 18.8MT.

CL 18.8 62 75 25.07 18.57 (25.07/1.35)
186

Step 2 :

After harding the the grain further fill up with B Heavy molasses ( Consider Brix 76 & purity 51 ).

Solids in C grain at the time of pan cutting to vacuum crystallizer = 60MT x 92 /100 = 55.20MT.

Solids from BH molasses for further fill-up of C grain pan =55.20 – 23.5 = 31.7MT

Weight of the BH molasses = 31.69 x100/ 76 = 42.25MT

Volume of the BH molasses = 42.25 /1.36 = 31.06 M3 = 310HL.

Final C Grain Purity = [ (Solids in initial grain x Purity of initial grain) + ( solids in BH x Purity of BH) ] / solids in final dropping C grain.

= [ (23.50 x 64) + (31.7 x 51)] / 55.20 =56.53.

Step 3 :

Now 50% material transfer to vacuum crytsallizer and then pan boiled with BH molasses ( Brix 76 & purity 51 ) only and dropped as a C massecuite.

Consider C massecuite dropping brix will be around 99.5.

Solids in C grain after 50% transfer to vacuum crystalizer = 55.20/2 = 27.60.

Solids in C massecuite = 60MT x 99.5 /100 = 59.7.

Solids in BH required for C massecuite boiling = 59.70 – 27.60 = 32.10.

Weight of the BH molasses for C m/c = 32.10 x100/ 76 = 42.80MT

Volume of the BH molasses for C m/c  = 42.80 /1.36 = 31.47 M3 = 315HL.

Final C massecuite dropping purity = [ (Solids in grain x Purity of grain) + ( solids in BH x Purity of BH) ] / solids in C massecuite

= [ (27.60 x 56.53) + (32.10 x 51)] / 59.7 = 53.56.

Example No.2 :

Grain prepared in 60T batch pan then it was feed to continuous pan with  1 : 3 Grain & molasses ratio.

Required Data for calculation of C grain purity,  C masseuite final purity, quantity of grain and molasses requirement for continuous pan. Finally estimate the vapour requirement for C continuous pan for the given pan capacity.

 Particulars Brix purity Sp. Gr.
 AH molasses 75 72 1.337
 BH molasses 80 53 1.401
 CL 75 63 1.337
 C grain footing ( Before slurry feed) 86 67 1.435
 C grain 88 ? 1.435
 C grain batch pan capacity  60 T  
 Grain Volume of the batch pan 45 %  
 Grain &  molasses ratio  1 : 3  
 C continuous pan capacity 20 T/hr  
 C massecuite Brix 100    

Step 1 :

First we have to conclude the footing material purity for graining ( Before adding the slurry) as per the available material. Then find the C grain dropping purity.

AH
72 2 (65-63)
Graining Material

CL

We assume for C grain taken C Light  & A Heavy as a footing material than further fill up with B heavy molasses.)
